There are a lot times when I am proud to be an American...
And there are many times when I am proud of Americans...
The day we welcomed home our friend from his year long deployment in Iraq, I was both...
Especially of those who serve our country and sacrifice for our freedom. I cannot describe the beauty and intensity of the experience, but I hope these pictures tell the story.
The story of a family reunited...
The story of a mother's relief...
The story of the brave who go...
And the brave who stay behind...
There's a name for the characters in this kind of story: heroes. But we have another name for them: friends...
Welcome home.
Thank you.
We love you.
